Good morning, it's time for our mid month inspiration post where the current challenge for the DT is either try a new technique or share one that they particularly enjoy using.

We have seem some wonderful entries so far this month, but if you have not joined in yet or would like to enter a second or third time to there is still plenty of time as the challenge runs until 1st June. The prize is a super £35 store voucher from Crafty Individuals.

Now I will hand you over to Lynne who will tell you all about the lovely canvas she has created.............

"Our topic for our current set of mid-month posts is to showcase a technique, either a favourite or one we haven't tried before. I decided to go for the latter. I've always wanted to have a go at a mixed media canvas but never got round to it before, mainly because I didn't really know where to start! However, this is what I managed to come up with!

I've no idea whether the way I did it was correct or not, if indeed there is a "correct" way, and having done it, there are things I'd do differently another time, but I'm not too dissatisfied with the finished result, imperfect though it is!

I have a few step by step photos and a brief how-to (or how not to!) on my blog Creative Lynks, so please do take a look, and I hope you have a go at creating a mixed media canvas. I certainly had fun doing it".

Thank you Lynne, I am sure everyone enjoyed seeing your lovely canvas as much as I did.

As the title suggests, the choice of theme is totally down to you, all we ask is that you remember the basic rules: You can enter up to three times, combine with other challenges, use any make of stamp......but can I please remind you.........we are a stamping challenge so must see a stamped image, sentiment or quote as the focal element of your artwork. It so upsets us to see names come out in the draw who are not eligible for the prize because they have not read the rules.

Crafty Individuals is an exciting web based venture into the creative world of crafts and altered art products and produce an eclectic range of unique and top quality art rubber stamps, cutting dies, masks/stencils and paper craft products. One very lucky winner will win a £35 voucher to spend in their store.

Anita is our Guest Designer this month and has created this very elegant card to share with us.............

And as usual the Design Team have come up with some fabulous artwork, several using products from this months sponsor.................

About our Challenge

Stamping Sensations is a monthly challenge and a new one will be posted on the first Sunday of every month.

All winners and Top 3 will be selected by a democratic voting system. As our DT have a wide variety of crafting styles we believe this system will offer an equal opportunity to all levels of crafting abilities.

Following EU guidelines, minors entering the challenge will not be selected for winners or top 3 spots in order to protect their identities.
